Multimodal Pain Management After Wide Awake Local Anesthesia No Tourniquet Orthopedic Hand Surgery: A Randomized Control Trial

• Status: NOT_YET_RECRUITING
• Trial end date: 2025-12-01

Summary

The main objective of the study is to measure the efficacy of a multimodal postoperative pain regimen consisting of oral acetaminophen and naproxen compared to a traditional opioid-only pain regimen following elective wide awake local anesthesia no tourniquet (WALANT) hand surgery in a Hispanic population. The study is a randomized control trial comparing the clinical outcomes of patients undergoing elective WALANT hand surgery performed by a board-certified, fellowship-trained orthopedic hand surgeon (Dr. Christian A. Foy).

The study groups are:

• Control group: standard pain control with opioids
• Experimental group: multimodal non-opioid pain control

Study Outcomes are:

• VAS pain scores (7 days),
• Total opioid usage
• Patient satisfaction
• Adverse events

We hypothesize that patients receiving multimodal pain regimens will report lower opioid use, lower pain scores, and greater satisfaction than patients receiving traditional opioid-only pain management.

• Phase: NA
